BÀI LUẬN TIẾNG ANH HAY
Write a story that ends with: ' I am amazed at what people can achieve when they are
forced to.'
Sarimah was a normal kampung girl who had a normal upbringing. She worked hard at school
and also in her father's paddy fields. She was the top student in her class.
Unfortunately, her father suffered a heart attack and was confined to their home, unable to tend
the fields. Her six siblings, three boys and three girls were too young to understand. Sarimah
knew by the look on her mother's face that she would have to take over. At the young age of
sixteen she decided that she would not let her family suffer poverty. She forged ahead with the
harvest and made sure the livestock was well fed.
She got help from the local Mardi and Felda officers who gave her the financial and practical
backing. Despite her busy and complicated life, she still managed to continue with her
schoolwork. Her mother sold cakes and tended to the fruit orchard that supplemented their
income in the dry season. As she worked, Sarimah didn't neglect her siblings. She paid a kind
teacher in the village some money to tutor them. She started selling handicrafts obtained from the
local villagers at the weekend markets in K.L. There were times when she would cry herself to
sleep.
Soon she could manage the farm, orchard and her studies as she had engaged some Siamese odd
jobbers to tend to the fields. This gave her time to study and look after the family. Her business
evolved and she managed to study agribusiness in UPM. Nevertheless she returned to the village
and saw her siblings through college. Today, all of them have successful careers of their own.
Her father and mother now live a simple but comfortable life. Sarimah today is happily married
and has three children of her own. As she looks back on her past, she can't help but wonder
where she got the strength and resolve to do all that she did. She said to me once, 'I am amazed at
what people can achieve when they are forced to.'
